[摘要]
在夏洛特·勃朗特的四本长篇小说中，三本是用第一人称自传体写成的。她的早期作品也
多是采取第一人称观点。由此可见勃朗特对此一叙事观点的偏爱。正因第一人称叙事特有
的真实感，导致勃朗特笔下的女主角常被读者视为她的化身。本论文旨在探讨作者、小说
、与第一人称叙事间错综复杂的关系。身为一知名十九世纪女作家，勃朗特选择写自传式
小说来满足自我表达的欲望，却不撰写她本人的真正自传。本论文第一章即探究造成勃朗
特此一决定的社会文化背景及其个人因素，并讨论勃朗特在小说中呈现出的维多利亚时期
男性与女性自传的不同特征。第二章则探讨勃朗特偏爱第一人称叙事观点的理由，并指出
她的小说叙事技巧的进步，及为何由早期以男性为主体的叙事转变为后期的女性论述。第
三章则讨论勃朗特小说中始终关注的主题—爱与婚姻。将小说的文本以及作者的生平数据
予以对照检视，可以发现勃朗特的小说男女主角忠实的反映了作者本人的真实信念。而这
也突显了勃朗特写小说的目的，即是要传达她所相信的真理，并进而影响她的读者。
[摘要]
Among Charlotte Bronte''s four full-length novels, three are composed in the
form of autobiography: Jane Eyre (1847), Villette (1853), and The Professor (
published posthumously in 1857). The abundance of first-person narratives in
Bronte''s juvenile writings also highlights her marked preference for the
first-person perspective in telling stories. In fact, due to the vital sense
of truth inherent in first-person narration, Bronte is often identified by her
readers as the heroines in her novels. This thesis aims to deal with the
complex relationships of the authoress, her works, and the first-person
narration. As a famous woman writer in the nineteenth century, Bronte
satisfies her desire for self-expression by means of writing autobiographical
fictions instead of composing her real autobiography. The first chapter
examines the social and cultural contexts as well as Bronte''s personal
reasons behind such a choice. There is also the discussion of Bronte''s
presentation of the different characteristics of Victorian autobiographies by
men and women in her novels. The second chapter investigates into Bronte''s
narrative strategy, and provides answers to her insistence on first-person
narration while the omniscient narration is the mainstream of novel writing.
The development of Bronte''s narrative technique and her transition from the
early masculine narrative to the later female discourse are also traced. The
third chapter reviews the everlasting subject of Bronte''s novels—love and
marriage. With a careful textual study of Bronte''s novels and a comprehensive
examination of her biographical documents, I find that Bronte''s fictional
hero and heroines have faithfully reflected the authoress''s real thoughts and
true beliefs. As can be detected, to deliver the truth that she knows of and
to influence her readers on issues that concern her most have always been
Bronte''s main preoccupations in respect of novel writing.
